Melting glaciers can be a danger to society. The melting of glaciers means that the sea level would rise. This could put some current sea-level cities underwater, causing damages and forcing people to find higher ground.

What formed from glaciers melting high in the Swiss Alps?

The melting of glaciers in the Swiss Alps has led to the formation of various features, including glacial lakes and moraines. As glaciers retreat, they leave behind depressions that fill with water, creating lakes. Additionally, the debris and sediment deposited by glaciers, known as moraines, shape the landscape and contribute to the region's unique topography. This melting also impacts local ecosystems and water resources.
